Let $(X_{k},\xi _{k})_{k\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of independent copies of a pair $(X,\xi )$ where X is a random process with paths in the Skorokhod space $D[0,\infty )$ and ξ is a positive random variable. The random process with immigration $(Y(u))_{u\in \mathbb{R}}$ is defined as the a.s. finite sum $Y(u)=\sum _{k\ge 0}X_{k+1}(u-\xi _{1}-\cdots -\xi _{k})\mathbb{1}_{\{\xi _{1}+\cdots +\xi _{k}\le u\}}$. We obtain a functional limit theorem for the process $(Y(ut))_{u\ge 0}$, as $t\to \infty $, when the law of ξ belongs to the domain of attraction of an α-stable law with $\alpha \in (0,1)$, and the process X oscillates moderately around its mean $\mathbb{E}[X(t)]$. In this situation the process $(Y(ut))_{u\ge 0}$, when scaled appropriately, converges weakly in the Skorokhod space $D(0,\infty )$ to a fractionally integrated inverse stable subordinator.
